I like Colton, I think he has a good voice but there are some singers that are better in this competition. But even with that, his performances always entertain me. So I prefer him over the better singers in the competition. Sometimes having a perfect pitch/sound doesn't make a better singer in my opinion.

I agree. I get bored with the "better singers" because they do the same thing every week. Change it up like Colton. Some of the power singers need to tone it down at times, not power their way thoughout the whole song.

Jessica has a nice voice, but I'm not really a fan. She doesn't hold my interest.
The only time I liked her was her duet with Joshua last week... that was fantastic!

I agree. Yes, she has a fantastic voice, but if any of her songs came on the radio I would flip the channel quick.

I'm not sure I agree that Colton changes it up any more than Philip does. He always sounds the same to me, and I really don't enjoy his singing all that much. He is another one if the song came on the radio, I would flip the dial. He was a bit better than last week though.

I have been watching this since Season 3 & I have to say that the duet between Skylar & Colton was the biggest off pitch mess I think I have ever witnessed. The judges definitely heard something I didn't, or the didn't hear what I did. Either way, it stunk.

In the minority but I liked Hollie this week. Thought she sounded beautiful.

I will join you in the minority. I liked her too and have liked her most every week. I think she's just this season's Hayley, someone for the judges to dump on. She is definitely not as bad as they are making her out to be. In fact, I like the tone of her voice and I would listen to her over Jessica any day of the week. If they are worried that she is going to steal their pet Jessica's votes ... it's apples and oranges.

I liked the beginning and the end, the middle .. not so much.

I don't remember Hayley's version.

I saw it that way too Uncle David, but they have determined that she is the one who will be thrown under the bus this season, and it doesn't matter what she does. I hope she realizes that too and doesn't take it to heart, because she has a beautiful voice.

Re: 4/11 AI 11 Top 7 Performance Show **West Coast Spoilers**

I think the judges need to learn some manners. Hollie has a voice that Jennifer and Steven can only dream of having, yet they dismiss her like she isn't worth their time or comment. It's outright rude and unacceptable. I am glad that Hollie has the guts to just smile though it and continue to improve. You don't pick favorites with the others, ignore their problem errors and then just diss on her. For a minute I thought they would going to say that Jessica and Joshua were perfect in that trio, but Hollie ruined it. That's how biased they are against her. I'm done with all 3 of them. I don't think the audience was down with Hollie, I think they were shocked that supposedly professional judges would be so completely unprofessional AND obvious in their bias. I'm done with all 3 of them because of this.

I will stick around to see how long Hollie can keep up her self-confidence despite the judges hatred for her. And I can't wait to see how nervous they get when their pets start duking it out! That will be interesting. Who will they turn on then?

Skylar does this....I like the girl she seems spunky and fun..but I feel as though she is shoving her songs down my throat, she seems to do the "louder is better" singing..too forceful..

Speaking of "angry singing"..Phillip is grating on my last nerve as well...although I like is "individualism" and have been a fan from the beginning...I would like to see a softer gentler Phillip....

Now Colton...is beginning to see the light, I did not like him at first..but the kid is growing on me, I think he is getting better each week, maybe he is finding his stride..but I kinda like this guy!

Could not have said it better!...she has a fabulous voice but I find her plastic, dull and too "expectant" of praise...

Hollie is such a little doll...(well she could be~actually), she just is getting lost in this competition because she is too similar to Jessica and well...Jessica gets all the praise so Hollie will be going soon.

Elise is the female rocker and usually those "types" don't last too long.... as the judges said she either gets it spot on or crashes and burns....she will become a victim of the voters soon no matter how much "propping up" the judges do....
